Hay Girls, shave your pits and legs. Never saw Chewbacca with a mate, did you?
Brace yourselves Women, movember is coming.
How about we all stop policing each other’s bodies and accept that while we may not find a particular physical attribute attractive, we don’t have to be jerks about it.
Well Cate, that’s no fun!
With respect to your beards guys, keep them! I am in heaven with all these hot beards!
I know, I know. Party pooper.
Also “Women” please don’t presume to speak for me. My hubby does Movember every year. I have tow August babies to show for it.
It’s all subjective, bitcher. This is your opinion and only YOUR opinion. I love face fuzz.
Guys can wear beards all they want. It’s a “free” country. Grow ’em if you got ’em.
Just don’t expect all women, or even a majority, to find this something they want to stick their faces into for a snog.
Not all women want to date someone who sports full on face pubes. I wouldn’t. Yuck!
Some women do. Just like some men don’t mind leg hair. Maybe because they’re not shallow and only into appearances? When I see all these little twits posing for their selfies with their duck lips and slutty poses, I think that those are the people who most dislike anything natural. Because they are anything but.
I guess someone didn’t like my comment. So pound sand woman. I will have a beard if I want, wear what I want and eat what I want and if you don’t like it too damn bad.
Since when does personal preference equal shallowness and being only into appearances? Integrity, character, wit and intellect are the most attractive qualities in a mate. These are not preferences, they are a MUST. Preference is for a clean shaven face.
Thank you.
I love how there are so many of them around here.
I travelled a lot this summer and I’ve never seen this many losers in one place!
Meh, beards rule and over-rules everything.
Especially mine.
I have to agree with the ob, but for a different reason. Most young men lack originality in how they look. Right now; most young men are sporting the “lumber sexual” look. They all look the same. The same goes for women. Can people just be themselves and stop following the herd mentality?
Women are not sporting the lumber sexual look…to clarify.
Speak for yourself, Monty. That’s not what my old woman sez.
I love hairy legs and chests and faces and asses. But not ears.
No Monty but a lot are trying to sport yoga (stretchy) pants to extremes they were never meant to go.
I’m thinking about growing out my nose hair and braiding it.
It’s not the beards that should bother you, it’s the dumb as fuck looking topknots.
The moderators suck in here. The OP made a negative comment about a male’s appearance, I respond with a recommendation to change a common appearance issue in many women (obesity) and my comment gets deleted.
Thanks for being so fair and providing an open forum of discussion.
Welcome to the board SAFETY GUY! And yes, many of us agree with you. There is but one mod – The Great Mod – and SHE doesn’t take kindly to things… at times… we’re still not sure, despite repeated attempts to get clarification or responses from her. Having a comment deleted is minor compared to account deletion or IP banning. If I say more I risk losing a finger… I KID! I KID!
I called someone’s point foolish and my comment was deleted by the MOd with her Suey Park ass.
Uh oh Freakazoid- that’s a paddlin.’
Naw, Cate, it’s a birch switch. It’s been broken over several monikers over the last year. She’s just wailing on scars now, the clueless twit.
I think the mod here and at the CH are the same. They pull comments willy nilly.
I think if I had typed “fuck off man”, I would have been okay, but I typed “fuck off woman” which I guess is verboten.
So addressing someone who identifies as female (did I get that part right?) as “woman” is non-PC now? Or is it new… I learns all my P&Cs here.
i love beards it tickles my bung bung
OB, you don’t speak for me, knob. This lady loves the beards. Keep it up, men!
Hey!! Some of us have to be Santa in a few months you know!! How popular would Santa be without that signature beard? Are you saying you don’t like Santa Claus also? Because you know, you might just have to go on the “naughty” list.. no not THAT naughty list.. lol you wish..
